Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or ransom:
“‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“—I am a lady young in beauty waiting
Until my truelove comes, and then we kiss.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
